When you merely piss off your enemies, and on top of that in doing so make them look sympathetic to previously neutral parties, you don't actually win.

Cancel culture doesn't even really work. All it ended up doing for the left in the 2010s was make martyrs and help invigorate the right. If the right goes down the same path it'll end just as badly. People don't change their opinions in your favor if you repress them. All that happens is they find somewhere else to organize out of your sight.
It's a bad idea, even if you can get away with it.
When the left was at it, it got to the point where tradesmen were having their lives ruined for making the OK symbol.
This is not that, yet, but it does carry the seed of it.
